Adhd medicine not working
I have adhd
I met psychiatrist
Once I took adhd medicine then it worked one year back I took once only
Then I didn't need medicine just checking improved focus
Now it's not working
Now I am taking inspiral
Is it possible that when medicine worked that was Addwize
And now I am taking inspiral that's why not working
And for some patient Addwize will work and for some inspiral will work?
I tried inspiral 10mg and 20 mg not working
But both are methylphenidate

Sometimes change is brand might affect the effect. Natural causes can also make the medications ineffective. Consult your psychiatrist again he will let you know the next step.

Methylphenidate is a controlled substance and should be used under strict supervision of a psychiatrist. Kindly do not experiment with the dosage without doctor’s advice. There is a certain way and dose to take. You can have withdrawal symptoms and other unnecessary side effects.
As for your question, there wont be any difference between inspiral and addwize, they are both standard brands.
Please visit your psychiatrist and discuss your predicament with them..you might not need methylphenidate after all. There are other drugs which can be given and also behavioural techniques which can help
